meet your GUIDE
Quddus Philippe is a sound facilitator, psychedelic guide and the founder of Sound Sanctuary. Known for his grounded presence and transformational approach, he is a multi-instrumentalist who leads individuals and groups through sound and psychedelic journeys around the world.
Before devoting his life to this work, Quddus built a successful career in music and media — from his start as a campus radio DJ to becoming the host of MTV’s Total Request Live, where TIME Magazine named him “one of pop culture’s foremost tastemakers.” After leaving MTV and serving as a creative director at Myspace, he was inspired to launch The Creator Incubator.
After a divorce and a deeper reckoning with success, sound and psychedelics became the doorway back to himself. Through years of study with master teachers in sound and the shamanic arts, Quddus transformed his personal breakdown into a path of deeper service. Now, he’s paying it forward and training others too.
